Framing System for Interior Drywall Ceilings

ShortSpan System: The best choice for framing short spans

Reduce Labor Cost: eliminates screws, cross tees and hanger wire (in most applications)

Reduce Material Cost: economical price point on components

Reduce Waste: standard and custom lengths – and there’s no cartons to throw away

Reduce Risk: system was evaluated using full scale seismic testing and may be an acceptable solution on your next project. Check with your local code official for approval prior to installations. For official test reports, please contact TechLine at 877-ARMSTRONG.

Fire Rated: up to 2-hour rating with one (1) layer of fire-rated gypsum board. (See Pages 5 and 6 for drawing detail) Resistive when used in applicable UL fire resistive designs. Fire Guard components meet UL Design Listings D501, D502, G523, G524, G526, G527, G528, G529, G531, G553, J502, L502,

ShortSpan Framing Tees: are engineered for faster, easier installation

✓ 1-1/2″ wide face exceeds the minimum industry standard (double web)

✓ ScrewStop

™ reverse hem prevents screw spin off

✓ Balanced profile stays flat during installation

✓ Rotary stitching on double web adds strength and stability

✓ Deep knurled surface for easy screw insertion

✓ G40, .018″ metal thickness meets ASTM C645

No Cardboard Cartons

✓ Reduced clean-up and waste at jobsite

✓ Quick to open

✓ Store outside

Locking Angle Molding


Locking Angle Molding (Patent Pending): a faster, more accurate solution

✓ Pre-engineered locking tabs punched 8″ on center:

– Eliminate measuring 16

″ or 24″

– Locking tabs prevent lateral and upward movement

– Eliminate screws, pop rivets, or crimpers needed to attach tees to molding

✓ Knurled surface on both flanges

✓ ScrewStop reverse hem prevents screw spin off and provides safer handling

✓ Alignment crimp at locking tabs for fast, easy alignment

✓ Locking Angle Molding is designed to only work with Armstrong ShortSpan products

ShortSpan tee engaged in Locking Angle Molding

Installation Notes

1 ShortSpan tees must be cut within 1/8

″ of the vertical leg of the Locking Angle Moldings (for non-rated installations only.)

2 Must screw LAM-12 and KAM-12 to wall structure (#8 x 1-1/4

″ wafer head self drill sheet metal screws tested in 25 and 20 gauge steel studs)

–

Assembly tested to 200 lbs. for shear and screw pullout without failure (refer to Maximum Load chart on page 11)

3 Insert right hand flange of tee into pocket “A” first and allow left flange to clear pocket “B” and rest on angle molding. Slide tee to the left to engage in pocket “B”

StrongBack (Patent Pending): Easier, pre-engineered solution to support spans over 6 or 7 feet

✓ Knockouts 8″ on center eliminates measuring, screwing, and splicing

✓ Allows vertical supports at 4′ on center instead of 24

″ or 16″

✓ Reduces lateral movement

✓ Resists upward movement if used with vertical tee post or stud

✓ Easier to level system compared to traditional framing

StrongBack support installed mid-span with vertical post at 4

″ gusset, or 11-5/8

″ for 12

″ gusset, above the horizontal flange of the locking angle molding.

2 Fasten the support tracks to the structure of the wall using fasteners appropriate for the construction. The support track sections have pre-punched holes spaced every 4

″ along their length to facilitate attachment.

How to install Gussets:

1 Hang the ShortSpan Tee on the support track over each end of every main beam.

2 Insert a #6 x 7/16

″ long sheet metal screw through the hole provided in the gusset and into the bulb of the ShortSpan framing tee.

More Installation Benefits in Enhanced Drywall Framing System Wall Angle

Value Added Features

✓ Knurled Angle Molding (KAM)…for Drywall Framing has the time saving advantages of knurling,

ScrewStop ™ , pre-punched holes, and no cartons to throw away.

✓ Knurling: Helps the screws to grab quickly

✓ ScrewStop: A reverse hem on the top and bottom flange will catch the screw and prevent it from slipping off the wall angle. It also adds a safety factor…no sharp edges on the top or bottom of the angle.

✓ Pre-punched holes: Located on the top edge, they allow for faster insertion of the screws.

✓ No carton packaging: Eliminate time needed to open and throw away cartons…just cut the plastic strap and go. They can also be stored outside.
